A Hidden Life tell the story of an unsung hero, Franz Jägerstätter, “who refused to fight for the Nazis in World War II. When the Austrian peasant farmer is faced with the threat of execution for treason, it is his unwavering faith and his love for his wife Fani and children that keeps his spirit alive.”
If you’re a fan of Malick and the films he makes, then I’m sure you’ll want to see the movie. Sometimes his films are hard to sit through, but this looks like it’ll tell an interesting story. But, it is almost three hours long.
